The Haunted Walk's The Nightmare Before X-Mas 👻🎄
Haunted Walk Ottawa ticket office, 46 Sparks Street, Ottawa, ON, CA🎄 The Ghosts of Christmas Past Are Calling! 🎄Emerging from The Haunted Walk’s archive for the first time since 2019, this beloved dark holiday tradition returns. Step into the shadows of the festive season, where lantern light flickers, snow falls softly, and stories linger in the long nights. From chilling winter folklore to ghostly yuletide legends, you’ll discover a darker thread woven through the season’s cheer. The majority of the tour unfolds inside the dimly lit Bytown Museum, one of Ottawa’s oldest and most haunted buildings. Once inside, you’ll learn why some Haunted Walk tour guides are too scared to give tours of the museum—even at Christmas time. Warm lights. Spooky seasonal chills. A night of festive fright you won’t soon forget.

Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread.
